Steven Garside Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Yes it is, is it worth the purchase ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Price sounds about right.HPI check will only tell you so much. Seen a few starlets crash damaged repaired outwith the insurance companies.Best thing you can do is take a mechanic mate down or someone who knows starlets really well to have a look over it.Failing that i think the AA do a kinda used car check for a few quid.
